Share Dailymotion Mood Videos on Skype

Dailymotion videos are now available on Skype. The latest version of Skype (version 3.5 for Windows) comes with Dailymotion video access to its Mood channels.

You can now share Dailymotion video content with your buddies directly through Skype, enabling you to view and discuss videos in real time. You'll be able to choose which video you'd like to share based on the different moods, as reflected by each channel. The Mood channels contain programming selected by Dailymotion's programming team, which comes from submissions from content creators participating in the MotionMaker program. This is a rewards program that's been set up to recognize the best contributors to the Dailymotion community.

The video-sharing site is also gearing up for a global strategy for its Mood channels, targeting it to different markets in the US, Germany, France and the UK. Dailymotion has only just launched its US version in the past month. While this deal between Dailymotion and Skype will offer a broader distribution platform for those content creators that submit work to the MotionMaker program, it limits sharing capabilities to pre-selected content. This mimics many deals that we'll see with the mobile industry, as when YouTube content was first provided on cell phones, and V Cast's own programming guide. Spinvox has also partnered with Skype for voice-to-text functionality.
